I'm going to cut Rick some slack and imagine that he'll withdraw from the campaign, choosing to be with his daughter over the pursuit of power.

But how much do you want to bet he mentions 'family issues' as the reason he's dropping out?

He will cite family responsibilities for his reason, but Mitt has been gainin' on him in recent polls. (sorry, I don't have the source right now)

His family and his child need him to be at home being a father. Politics aside, I feel for his daughter and for his wife in regards to their daughter.
